HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.
We do not have ANY photos of this Breeder!

Please do not upload someone else's photos without their permission. Thanks!

[From Annales de Flore et de Pomone, 1847, p. 19:] M.Giraud dit Larose, ancien jardinier de la Malmaison sous l'impératrice Joséphine
[From Les Roses de l'Impératrice, by François Joyaux, p. 106:] Giraud d'Haussy, un des innombrables jardiniers sous ses ordres, s'occupe plus spécialement des roses; aussi est-il surnommeà Larose. Connaissant l'attachement de Sa Majesté à ces fleurs, probablement jouit-il d'une considération particulière. D'autant que, lui aussi, est grand amateur de roses. D'ailleurs, après le décès de l'Impératrice, il s'installera à Neuilly, puis à Marly, où il s'adonnera aux plaisirs de l'obtention de variétés nouvelles (aujourd'hui éteintes): "Princesse Mathilde" (thé, 1847), "Coquette de Neuilly" (Noisette, 1848), "Madame Désirée Giraud" (H.R., 1854).
[François Joyaux is here in error when he sets Giraud dit Larose = Giraud d'Haussy. The latter was born 1820, 6 years after the death of Empress Joséphine]
[From Roll Call: The Old Rose Breeder, p. 190:] Giraud d'Haussy, "called LAROSE", Former gardener at Malmaison under Empress Joséphine.
1847:
Neuilly, France
